Hindi ko alam kung familiar kayo sa Capiz shells.

It's a part of the Philippine History

Yun yung manipis na shell aka windowpane oyster dito satin. Yung parang bintana noong unang panahon, around Spanish era na ginagamit sa simbahan, sa lumang bahay kasi kahit nakasara, nakakapasok pa rin yung liwanag.

Ngayon, yun na yung ginagawa namin araw-araw.

We have a workshop in Bataan, kami mismo yung gumagawa ng mga jewelry box, chandeliers, lamp shades at iba pang mga personalized items pang giveaways, weddings, events or more

Then, I decided to setup yung online store this year.

Yung tito ko rin pala yung nag-inspire sakin na simulan. Siya mismo yung gumagawa kasama yung master artisans nya, he's been in the exporting before sa Capiz din back in 1980's. Siya rin yung nagturo sakin kung paano gumawa, first I made was a Bahay Kubo made from capiz shells

Yung mga kamay niya, kabisado na yung bawat hiwa, bawat dikit, bawat polish. Ngayon, kasama na niya yung mga bagong tina-train nya. Mahirap sa una pero kita mo na yung pasensya at yung pag-iingat. Minsan inaabot ng ilang araw bago matapos ang isang piraso. Depende sa hirap ng design. Minsan mas matagal. Hindi minamadali because we want it to be always quality.

Pero here's the reality and sabi ng tito ko noon, "walang yumayaman sa pagca-capiz" and "halos lahat ng makikita mong magca-capiz mahirap". I observed and yun nga rin yung napansin ko, except dun sa mga dating kasama sa mga capiz exporters kaso matatanda na sila and unti-unti nang nawawala or umoonti yung gumagawa ng mga capiz crafts. And that's just one of the reasons why I decided to start this small business, I aim to revive this type of craft and hopefully in the future we can start exporting again. This means it will enable us to give more jobs, preserve the unique craftsmanship and yung pakiramdam na makapagbigay ka ng luxury-feel sa mga tao without them spending too much and yung maipapamana pa nila yung arts and craft sa next generation, then they will ask "Saan 'to gawa?"

Just like a Capiz shell, it's beauty never fades.

Ayun lang naman, skl. Haha. If you're curious, you can search us- Casa Capiz PH on IG/FB, we are also on shapi na rin para mas accessible nationwide

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m based in Pampanga and just started my small home baking business recently. Like many of you, I’m learning as I go testing recipes, figuring out costs, and trying to find the right balance between quality and fair pricing.

My latest product is Bento Brownies: soft, fudgy, and baked fresh daily without artificial preservatives. I paired them with dip flavors people usually love: Dark Chocolate, White Chocolate, and Matcha. Each pack comes in a portable bento box, plus a small wooden spork taped neatly on top for convenience.

I’ve priced it at ₱170 per box after computing ingredients, packaging, and a reasonable margin, but I’d really appreciate feedback from fellow entrepreneurs and customers here:

• Does the price feel fair for what’s included?

• What improvements or flavors would you suggest?

• Any tips on how to make packaging or presentation better?

No hard selling here, just sharing what I’ve made and hoping to learn from this community. Thank you so much for the support and insights! 🙏

SKL, this chef randomly appeared on my fb reels. He said na the cookie dough itself is not flavorful. Masarap lang kasi maraming chocolate chips. Well, most of the cookies na na-try nya, medyo expensive and kaya lang nagiging expensive eh gawa nung chocolate chips (for example, yung Twenty four bakeshop). Might get downvoted for this but I agree on his feedback.

No hate for Petite Bakery ah pero I find their cookies mid lang. There’s nothing special about their cookies especially yung red velvet. Casual baker ako and my bf usually gets lot of cookies from me kaya na-excite ako na pupunta kami sa Molito to try PB’s cookies kasi andami ko nakikita na hype sa socmed. So first bite pa lang nya, sabi nya parang tinapay raw (he ordered the double chocolate). Tried his order, ang dry nga nung cookie 🥲 Then yung akin, yung red velvet. Nothing special talaga. Tapos one scoop of ice cream, ₱100 na agad 🥹. Sabi pa nung bf ko, magbake na lang raw ako samin hahahaha! Well, I was kinda disappointed rin kasi I’ve been wanting to try their cookies for so long and nagc-crave ako kada nakikita ko sa socmed kasi the cookies really looks so good!

I respect the business and I know for a fact na we all have different tastebuds. I was just disappointed. I love the hustle of the owner but would not buy again 😅

Saan pa kaya masarap ang cookies?

Hi all! I wanted to share my dad’s watch service business, LM TimeCraft at Makati Central Square. We just launched his page last October to help the shop. He’s also saving up to have a good retirement fund for him and my mom once he can no longer manage. Grateful that people from reddit also noticed my previous post in a different sub and we gained a bit of traction.

My dad has been a watch tech since the '80s, including years spent as a Seiko Watch Tech Supervisor in Manila and Saudi Arabia. He brings decades of expertise to every piece, from everyday carry watches to luxury brands like Rolex, Omega, Cartier, and Tudor.

We’re really happy that customers noticed and now we are even receiving shipped watches from clients in Visayas and Mindanao! To show our gratitude, my dad is committed to keeping his prices fair and accessible.

How he can help you:
Personal: Give your personal collection a proper overhaul, battery replacement, or restoration.

Resellers (Bulk Service): If you sell vintage or pre-loved watches and need a reliable technician to make your inventory retail-ready, he offers special bulk pricing.

Thank you and may all small businesses prosper! ❤️
